Prakash Raj in and as multi shaded Raghava Rao in Rangamarthanda

Director Krishna Vamsi, who has been away from action post Nakshatram, is back with Rangamarthanda, the Telugu remake of Nana Patekar’s Marathi blockbuster Nata Samrat. The film is gearing up for an early 2023 release.

The makers have taken the slow-and-steady route to promote the film over the last few weeks.

On Wednesday, the first look of Prakash Raj as theatre veteran Raghava Rao was launched. “Introducing the multi linguistic, multi talented and 5 times National award winner #PrakashRaj as multi shaded Raghava Rao from the world of #Rangamarthanda!,” the team shared on its social media handles.

In the new look, Prakash Raj, while he holds a mic and sporting a golden bracelet on his right hand, is garlanded and being felicitated with a shawl on a momentous occasion in his career.
